Be it known that'I, Vieron IvAnsoN, a

` citizen of the United States. of America,

v trailer and particularly thev invention has for its object the provision ofnovel-means l 4 the tractor thereof.

whereby a tractor control may be installed on a binder in order that an operator; may control the binder mechanism while guiding A further object of this invention is to provide novel draft'rigging connectingthe tractor and trailer to insure proper positionand to allow ing of the trailer with respect to the tractor y free movement ofthe coupling in turning. i

With the foregoing and other objectsin view, theinvention consists in the details 'of construction, and the arrangement and vcombination ofparts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed. l

` In describing the invention in detail, referl ence will be had to the accompanying draw-v ings orming part of this specification,

wherein like characters denote correspondin parts in the several v1ews,'and1n which--V igure 1 illustrates a view 1n elevation of a tractor and binder;

Figure 6 illustrates' a plan view of the coupling; and Y Figure 7 illustrates a side elevation thereof.

In these drawings 10 denotes the tractor with a throttle or fuel control 11 'actuated by a lexible member 12 which may lead` to any suitable station to` be manipulated by an operator.

The clutch controlling lever v13 vmay be coupled in any suitable way to` operate the l station occupied bythe operator. following is a speciand operating thek .throttle 'may be rivets, bolts orthe like. 4

elutch,;butg asgthe detailsfof construction the vclutch control are immaterial, itis not` shown more specifically. l v

The lever 13 is supplied wit-h anv operat ing member 14 which'may also lead to the gPatented'agita-1922. 1

`The tractorhas a steering` post orshaft -1 15 with a member 16 of a universal joint I connected to-it" andthe said member `.16 coacts with a member 17 ofthe shaft 18, which j shaft telescopes in the hollow shaft 19, which hollow shaft is supplied.with4al hand wheel l .l 20 by which thehollow shaft isfturned for steering the tractor.

"The hollow shaft isy supported bya post rotatably holding it so that/the hollow shaft maybe .free toturxi and/also .free to;oscillate as the bracket 23'turned inthe vsocket-of "il p The binder lwhich'in'this instance is-thek "trailer, is suppliedwith .a seat 25 for the v21 which has a socket22 in. which la bracket' l v23A is swiveled, thelsaid'bracket having 'its l upper lend embracingfthc 4hollow shaftandx 111sl eov operatorr and the throttle operating member. 12 extends :rearwardly through suitable 'guides 26 ywhichfarefsuspended from the hollow shaft and1withinjconvenient reach 1 The draw bar 27 is hingedly connectedy to 'y of an operator who may occupyjthe seat 25.

a bracket 28 on the binder or harvester and ythe said drawbar hasan end connectedby alpin 29 to a coupling 30 Ywhich coupling includes a transverselyl disposed. apertured bar 31, the apertures of whichzreceive the 1 pivot29 so that the drawfbar may be conf of the nected to the coupling at one o any ofthev i positions lindicated, by the apertures inthe i ends attached toayoke` 32 andthe yoke transverse bar. Y The transversejbar has its has a head or plate 33 which may be `boltedl or otherwise attached to the-,tractor or v toa portion of the framethereoff Braces 31vr v yokeand the said braces are attached tothe extend from the` head to the ends ofy the transversely ldisposed bar vand 4.to the ends of the yokes by suitable `fastenings 35 which .y

It will be seen `from aninspection of the drawing that the operator may turn the wheel 20 to steer the tractor or that he may manipulate the connection 12 for `increasing f 1 0r diminishingjthe supply-of fuell and that y hefmay manipulate the fleirible'memberA fori operating the clutch.

desired, suitable armsti mayradiate" v from e hub orloody section 37 and the said hub or body seetlon can be .mounted on the f hollow shaft and the connections from the clutch er fuel control een be attached to the arms and that has been 'found e con! Venent arrangement to hold the parts in operati-ve relation to the occupant of the seat.

l claim:

10 ln.. e. draft device yfor traetorsythe combnaton of a 'frame adapted to be rigidly secured at its 'front end to a rearwardly eX- tendng draft lug of a tractor and having rearwardly extending dvergng arms, and e cross bar connecting the ends of said arms :and vhaving a plurality of openings for the attachment of draft means adjustably along seid Cross bar.
